Answer:

74.86% probability that a component is at least 12 centimeters long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 14

Variance is 9.

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance.

So

\sigma = \sqrt{9} = 3

Calculate the probability that a component is at least 12 centimeters long.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 12. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{12 - 14}{3}

Z = -0.67

Z = -0.67 has a pvalue of 0.2514.

1-0.2514 = 0.7486

74.86% probability that a component is at least 12 centimeters long.

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. a. \sqrt{x} =12

  b. \sqrt{x} ^{2}=12^{2}

  c. x=144

2. a. \sqrt{x^{2} } =\sqrt{196}

   b. x= 14

3.  

\sqrt{x} -4 +4= 8+4\\\sqrt{x} =12\\x= 3.46410161514  \\or  \\2\sqrt{3}

4.

2(x^{2} +3)=398\\x^{2} +3= 199\\x^{2} =196\\x=14

Mario is walking away from a motion detector at a rate of 1.5 feet per second. He started recording his distance from the motion
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

6 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial distance of Mario from motion detector = 2 ft

Speed of Mario = 1.5 ft/sec

Total distance of Mario from motion detector = 11 ft

Total distance moved by Mario while walking at the rate of 1.5 ft/sec = 11 - 2 = 9 ft

Given that:

Distance = 9 ft

Speed = 1.5 ft/sec

<em>Formula:</em>

Distance = Speed \times Time

\Rightarrow 9 =1.5 \times Time\\\Rightarrow Time = \dfrac{9}{1.5}\\\Rightarrow Time = \bold{6\ sec}

So, at <em>6 seconds</em>, Mario will be 11 ft from the motion detector.

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

  1 inch = 82 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

You can divide each of the terms of this ratio by 14 to get the ratio for 1 inch:

  14 in : 1148 mi

  = (14 in)/14 : (1148 mi)/14

  = 1 in : 82 mi
